Geek Squad Inc. is a subsidiary of American and Canadian multinational consumer electronics corporation Best Buy, headquartered in Richfield, Minnesota. The subsidiary was originally an independent company founded by "Chief Inspector" Robert Stephens on June 16, 1994, and offers various computer-related services and accessories for residential and commercial clients. In 2002, they merged with Best Buy, retaining Stephens as the primary corporate leadership for the subsidiary. The Geek Squad provides services in-store, on-site, and over the Internet via remote access, and also provides 24-hour telephone and emergency on-site support. Geek Squad no longer works solely on computer-related devices. It now diagnoses issues in and repairs all consumer electronics, as well as appliances. (en) La Geek Squad est une société d'assistance informatique à domicile créée en 1994 par Robert Stephens rachetée par Best Buy en 2002. Elle compte environ 24000 employés (2010) et est établie sur plus de 700 sites (2007) aux États-Unis. La geeksquad ou « l'escouade des geeks » en français se considère comme une « unité spéciale d'intervention » informatique. Elle a été fondée en 1994 à Minneapolis, Minnesota. La marque Geek Squad est présente en France depuis février 2011 au sein de la chaîne de distribution The Phone House. Souhaitant « devenir le leader du monde des services informatiques », Geek Squad pratique la vente de ses interventions au forfait, alors que la plupart des sociétés de service facturent à l'heure.
